Hello Everyone,

I took the color frames last night and combined them with the H-alpha frames from the other night to get this image. This is the "first light" color test of this new astrograph.

The link provides the image as well as specifications.

Comments welcome.

Hi Tom, Incredible image ....3d looking Dark clouds and nebulosity!

Very nice work....A very well color balanced too!

Thats and awesome fast new scope setup .....seems to work very well.
I know the feeling about trying to convince ours wives we need new scopes, every few months! ;-)

Keep up the great work!
